The Completeness of Christ in Type and Shadow in the Old Testament … THE BOOK JOEL The dating of this prophecy is unknown. We know practically nothing of the prophet, other than, just as Hosea was sent to Israel, Joel was sent to Judah. We do know that his father’s name was Pethuel. In Joel […]
The philosopher and the sceptic say “What is Truth?” The believer who has tasted that the Lord is gracious replies: “God’s Word is truth”. Even the sceptic may agree to this proposition but would ask “Has God spoken?” and if so, where is it to be found? When we deal with what is called “natural […]
The words of repentant David: ‘Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow’ (Psa. 51:7), have seized the mind, and entered into the preaching of the gospel during all times. In the book of Revelation, the only gospel that is preached (so far as the record goes) contains no reference to Christ, His finished […]
The great fact of all facts proclaimed by God to sinful men is that Jesus Christ, Who was crucified on Calvary, “died for our sins, according to the Scriptures, and was buried, and rose again the third day, according to the Scriptures” (1 Cor. 15:3,4). They who believe that proclamation receive the Salvation of the […]
We have seen from the testimony of Scripture itself that the only company of the redeemed for whom the Millennial reign is introduced into the pages of Holy Writ, is the overcomer. Revelation 20:1-10 is the only portion of Scripture that gives positive teaching concerning the Millennium; other Scriptures contain passages that may or do […]
What did Paul mean when he said, SOMETHING HAD BEEN COMMITTED TO HIM? To begin with it’s not a very common English word, is it? We don’t often use it. Fortunately, the answer is in 2 Timothy. Now this word ‘commit’ is translated in some translations, ‘a deposit’, and it does mean to deposit, but that doesn’t […]
Two cities dominate the prophetic teaching of Scripture, Babel, afterward called Babylon, built by Nimrod, the rebel, and Salem, afterward called Jerusalem, served by Melchizedek, Priest of the Most High God. As in so many other cases (i.e. Esau before Jacob, Saul before David, Antichrist before Christ) Satan’s city is mentioned before the city of […]
This prophecy of the Seventy Weeks, however, is of such importance, that a separate study is demanded in an Analysis of Prophetic truth. While Daniel 9 is complete in itself, it follows chapter 8, supplying further details, just as chapter 8 supplements 7; and it will be wise to retain what we have already seen […]
The prophet that follows Jeremiah chronologically is Zephaniah, whose prophecy immediately precedes the Captivity. Something of the state of mind that characterized the people at the time of their end can be gathered, not only from the violence and deceit and prevalence of idolatry, but from such a passage as Zephaniah 1:12, where the Lord […]
To commence our study with the testimony of the Gospel according to Matthew is to attempt to build without a foundation.The teaching of Matthew and the bulk of the New Testament rests upon the teaching of the Old Testament, not only for the fulfilment of prophecy in the coming of the Lord as Redeemer, but […]
